	Good questions....

1.	You can't view html format "files" since the builtin editor of
pine is not html aware.  So, the MIME designation of text/html is not
supported via a builtin method.

2.	To view html format "file" you will need to make use of a
mailcap file.  The mailcap file is used to designate a mapping between
an MIME type/sub-type and an external application.  I don't happen to
have the documentation handy on the format of mailcap entries.  You
should first check the pine release notes and then the "mailcap" entry
in setup/config to see if they posess pointers to additional information.
If not, feel free to email me directly and I'll do some digging for you.

	Regards,
